PARTS & ASSEMBLY

Your COFFEE URN requires little assembly. Prior to use, wipe down the outside of the unit with a damp cloth and dry. Wash remaining parts in warm soapy water, rinse, and then dry.

Do not attempt to assemble parts while the unit is running.

Always assemble parts while unit is unplugged.

HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, carefully unpack your COFFEE URN, remove all packaging materials, and then follow the cleaning instructions under the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section.

TO MAKE COFFEE:

1. Place the urn upright on a dry, sturdy and heat-resistant surface near an electrical outlet.
2. Remove the Lid by grasping the Knob and twisting counterclockwise until the lock symbol moves from locked ( ) to unlocked ( ) and the locking tabs completely clear the handles on each side of the Water Tank. Lift out the Filter Basket and Stem and set aside.
3. Fill the Water Tank with cold water to match the number of cups you wish to brew.
   NOTE: Do not overfill (more than 30 cups) or underfill (less than 10 cups) the urn.
4. Replace the Stem and Filter Basket. Make sure the Stem Well is seated into the cavity at the bottom of the Water Tank.
5. Add ground coffee to the Filter Basket. Follow the chart below to determine the amount of ground coffee to add. Do not spill coffee grounds in the stem.

NOTE: 1 Cup Brewed Coffee = 5 Fluid Ounces

6. Place the Lid back onto the urn. Grasp the Knob and twisting clockwise until the unlocked symbol moves from unlocked ( ) to locked ( ).

7. Plug the urn into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: To avoid damage, do not plug into outlet when there is no liquid inside.

8. Soon the urn will begin to perk coffee. When done brewing, the Indicator Light will illuminate.

CAUTION! Water Tank gets very hot during operation.

CAUTION! Hot steam escaping from the Lid during operation may cause skalding.

9. To serve, place a cup under the Faucet. Push down and hold the Faucet lever until the cup is filled, then release the lever. For a constant flow, to empty the urn, or fill a carafe, lift the lever straight up. The lever will stay in the open position until the lever is pushed down.

10. To make additional coffee, rinse the Lid, Filter Basket, Stem and Water Tank with cold water, then follow the same process to make more coffee.

HELPFUL TIPS

• For best results, use medium ground coffee. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of the Filter Basket can occur.
• Use your urn to make more than just coffee - try heating water to make hot apple cider, hot chocolate, tea and more.
• Never plug in the urn without water or liquid inside.
• DO NOT overfill or underfill the urn with water. Liquid must always cover the inside bottom of the urn at all times during use. Falling below the minimum level could cause overheating and damage to internal components.
• You may want to place a plastic mat underneath the Faucet to protect furniture and to avoid staining of table cloth.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug your urn and allow it to cool. Drain any leftover coffee out of the urn.
2. Wash the Lid, Filter Basket, and Stem in warm, soapy water. Dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
   NOTE: Filter Basket may also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
3. Clean the interior of the urn by filling with warm water to about one-third of its capacity. Add dish soap and wash with a non-abrasive spong or cloth. Pay special cleaning attention to the Stem Well. The Stem Well must be kept clean for the urn to operate properly. Rinse the interior with warm water, then dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
4. Wipe the exterior of the urn with a soft, damp cloth and dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
5. NEVER immerse the Body or Base in water.
6. After repeated use, accumulation of oil and coffee stains may cause a bitter taste. These stains can be removed with a special urn cleanser . Make sure cleanser is safe to use with this product. Follow the directions on urn cleanser packaging. Be sure to rinse well.

   • Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
   • DO NOT remove ground prong.
   • DO NOT use an adapter.
2. This unit MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
3. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
4. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a long cord.
5. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
6. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
   • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
